Frequently Asked Questions

About Rugged Displays

All Core Systems rugged displays are tested to MIL-STD-810 for environmental durability and MIL-STD-461 for EMI/EMC compliance, ensuring reliable operation in harsh military and industrial conditions.

Our displays feature high-brightness panels up to 1,000+ nits, anti-reflective coatings, and optical bonding to maintain clear visibility in full sunlight or high-glare environments.

Core Systems specializes in custom-engineered displays with tailored sizes, enclosures, video inputs, touch options, and environmental sealing to meet your specific mission or platform requirements.

We offer displays from 7” to 24” in a variety of resolutions, supporting detailed visuals for mapping, radar, video feeds, and data visualization.

Our displays are built for land, air, and sea operations, performing reliably in tactical vehicles, command centers, ships, submarines, and aircraft exposed to shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures.

Choose between projected capacitive (PCAP) touch for precision or resistive touch for gloved or wet environments. Both options are ruggedized and EMI-shielded for field performance.

Our monitors support multiple video inputs including HDMI, DVI, and DisplayPort, making integration seamless with Core Systems rugged servers, mission computers, and third-party hardware.

Many models meet IP65 or IP67 protection ratings, providing complete resistance against dust and protection from water jets or immersion.

Key considerations include environmental exposure (temperature, humidity, shock, vibration), mounting configuration, video input compatibility, and brightness requirements for outdoor readability. Displays should meet MIL-STD-810 and IP ratings to ensure mission reliability under real-world conditions.

Optical bonding eliminates the air gap between the LCD and protective glass, reducing reflection and condensation. This process improves sunlight readability, contrast, and impact resistance, which is essential for displays used in mobile command, naval, and aerospace applications.

Rackmount and multi-display systems offer compact, modular control setups ideal for Tactical Operations Centers (TOCs) and vehicle command units. They allow multiple data feeds like radar, mapping, and video to be viewed simultaneously, improving situational awareness and response speed.

Each display is built using industrial-grade components and tested in-house for thermal cycling, vibration, EMI/EMC, and ingress protection. With ISO 9001:2015 certification and U.S.-based manufacturing, Core Systems ensures consistent performance and long lifecycle support across all mission environments.

All Core Systems products are designed, built, and tested in San Diego, California, under ISO 9001:2015 standards, ensuring U.S.-made quality and consistent performance in every deployment.
